Can't say I'm delighted with that though. I thought inter pro clashes were supposed to be sacrosanct? There are 5, I think, ST holders in our squad and I'm sure there are a number in the 'Rock team we'll be playing and we're missing the Connacht match (Or most of it anyway) cause of the timing of the KO. Not happy about that at all!

Good shout

Surely Rock wouldn't be averse to bringing the kick-off forward an hour or so Darce?

Could you not have got the game brought forward an hour or two? Tallaght - Millmount House was brought forward to 2.00 thankfully.

They play rugby in Tallaght? Mein Gott

They most certainly do sir, beat Terenure in a J5 game last season too, so put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

Have Clondalkin any chance of winning the match?

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Make sure this gets updated by tomorrow because the ref will expect the game to be on at 3pm otherwise.

Reffing many games this season, Fester?

Hopefully. I've put a stop to the playing and will be able to concentrate on running fitness. Smashing into tackle bags isn't much good for trying to keep up with 19 year olds playing something resembling basketball.

Unidare have had rugby posts installed in Balcurris Park and, fingers crossed, will be playing their first ever game there on Saturday against Tallaght.Quite a momentus occasion for the club and the area in Ballymun.

Congrats to you all, I hope you have a long and successful residency in your new home.

Sadly I'll be in Bath and will miss this but fair play. Just take it easy on our lads please!

We have a pitch! Anything else is a luxury. We have the use of Trinity Comprehensive on match days down the road for teams to shower and change. Real community effort being put in place here. It's great to see.

Good stuff. Hope it works out. Hopefully we'll get a game out there sometime
